TEANECK, N.J. — A northern New Jersey town has rescinded an invitation to speak at a Memorial Day ceremony to an Iraq war veteran who has criticized the town council.

Jason Castle said he was disappointed the invitation was withdrawn after Teaneck Township Manager William Broughton contacted the Teaneck Patriotic Observances Committee. Castle served in the Marine Corps and chairs an opposition group affiliated with a former councilwoman.
